Hailing from Buenos Aires , Claudio Ortegas warm vocals are inspired by the classic tango singer, Carlos Gardel. When Stephanie Newsoms lyric piano goes jazzy and Peter Newsoms rhythm guitar gets rocking, you will hear the classic tangos with a new fusion twist. For the past few years this Pan-American trio has brightened milongas and clubs in the SF Bay Area with the intensity of their compelling emotional melodies. The nostalgia of a home far away, the poignancy of an early love remembered, and the triumphs of enduring love are all traversed in their dynamic repertoire.
